Headed to San Jose del Cabo from July 15-23, mainly planning on surfing and paddleboarding but hoping to get some kayak fishing in as well. I'm on a budget so just hoping to find a decent rental for a day or two rather than a guided trip. Last time I was there the Costa Azul condo I rented came with...

Caught these a few weeks ago near Cold Pass, just getting back to using TKF, so consider it a late report! Stuffed the two biggest ones with crab meat, jalapenos, small shrimp, cream cheese and crushed ritz crackers.

I take two 48 quart Rubbermaids and have fit three quartered deer between them, along with almost 20 lbs of ice per cooler. If its over 60 degrees I have to put 10 lbs in each cooler per day. If its under 45 degrees the ice will last for about four days. Just be sure to leave the plug open and drain...

Packing now for the last hunt of the season. Three glorious days to put some more meat in the freezer and get away from the rat race! Early mornings and evenings in the deer stand, mid days jumping ducks on the ponds and nights hunting hogs, I'll sleep later. There's room for all God's creatures in ...

When the wind is SW and with the surf around 2'+ you have to find protective pockets that hold cleaner water and have smaller waves, ie. base of Surfside jetty and Bolivar pocket.

Bitten by a Toadfish!, You'd better seek medical help immediately!!

Caught these three big'uns on Lake Conroe just west of the dam, trolling silver Rat-L-Traps.

Buffalo Bayou was a huge success! Over 400 boats and 600 paddlers in 7 classes. Happy to say I won 1st place in the Long Recreational Kayak class in my sea kayak. Almost 15 miles in 1:57:30 congrats to my friends Charlie and Adam who won 1st in the Tandem unlimited.

Thanks for the info Randy, I really appreciate it! Please note that camping with generators and AC does not qualify as "prmitive".

Here's a bump to the top for ya. Guys this area has some geat hunting! I have a lease in 10 miles south of Commanche about 20 miles from this area. The deer a quite a bit large than Hill country deer, we take does that run 130+ and the better bucks weigh upwards of 160. While we don't have Boon and ...

Well I DID filet it (all of them actually) in the garage a night with a 75W single bulb.

Thaks guys, it was tasty and worm free as well!!

Like the old Rolling Stones song says " Gimme, Gimme shelter..." I take my Hook-n-Line or Hot Spot maps with me and try to find someplace protected from the wind with a lot better chance for clean water. I won't give out my honey hole spots, but here is a hint, when it is that windy look f...

Man I LOVE this time of year! The kids go back to school. The surf get good as the tropical season kicks into high gear. The fishing picks up, first the trout in the surf on those calm glassy days, then the Redfish run and finally the flounder in November. Dove season is right around the corner and ...

Maybe not exactly on the topic but similar, I just returned from a surf trip to Troncones, Mexico. 30 minutes north of Ixtapa. Areal nice quality break with big swell and virtually no one out. Turns out they have had two fatal attacks in the last year and a half a dozen other attacks from minor to l...

Wanted to wade surfside or Beach access 6 at Folets this morning, wind was raging at 20 side shore Sw. Went to San Luis launched and paddled across Cold Pass. Stayed real patient, fished from 7:30 til 11 when I ran out of bait. Bite never got frantic but stayed pretty steady, ended up with 6 trout 1...

Did the same trip today, Surfside, then Christmas and Cold Pass, stayed with it and did OK -6 Trout including a 25"

Wesman- Check out5 this wrebsite for info on Colorado river campgrounds, rapids dams etc. It has some great maps of the area from Bastrop to Cokumbus. and if you feel adventurous you can even sign up for the race on Sept 5! http://www.coloradoriver100.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);...

First time I went saltwater yak fishing, I bought a bunch or pre-fabed steel leaders, my very experienced fishing partner sneered at the store bought leaders. Twenty minutes into the trip, I had landed 4 nice Smacks and a 30" nurse shark, he had been cut off at least a half dozen times and was ...

Nice Turkeys an Hogs, I hunt in Comanche about 20 miles southesat of Cross plains, strange thing is even though there are lots of Hogs in all directions from our lease, we haven't had a hog killed in over 20 years, this past November we did see some hog signs, (muddy wallows and a little hair on a n...

Sorry to hear about the break-in. My 2003 F-150 was broken into exactly the same way in the Aldine area on Nov 1. My bow with all accessories and brand new high end cell phone were stolen. Just leaves you feeling violated. I cook up all those revenge scenarios in my head, like leaving a bunch of val...

A good friend told me today that his wife's relative had been struck by a car in College Station. Is this the same young man?

No, my son was struck in Spring on Spring Stuebner Road just west of I-45

Thanks for all the prayers and thanks to a loving and merciful God- I am so grateful to the many people who took time to post and pray. I am happy to report that my son is doing as well or better than expected, he has reagained conciousness, is aware of his surroundings, and recognizes all the famil...

Tuesday night my 24 year old son was struck by a large SUV while walking across a busy street. He suffered major head trauma, two subdermal hematomas, kidney damage and two broken verabrate. He was rushed into emeregency surgery to relieve the swelling on his brain. Through the many prayers of famil...

I have about the same set-up as you a Model 700 with a Leupold 3X9X40 VX-II. And I've been considering upgrading to a Leupold or Monarch 4X12X50. I compared my scope and my buddies 4X12X50 VX-II side by side at twilight and there was a signifcant difference in the 50. I would estimate that it would ...
